How do I use my own php.ini / PHP configuration via SSH?

To use your own php.ini file, you must first change the PHP configuration via the .user.ini file.

For further information on this, please refer to the PHP documentation: https://www.php.net/manual/de/configuration.file.per-user.php

You can then specify this file using the `-c` switch in your PHP command:

php -c /home/users/IhrUsername/PfadZuIhrer/.user.ini script.php

In this example, the `php.ini` file located at `/home/users/yourUsername/pathToYour/.user.ini` is used to run the `script.php` script with PHP. You can replace `/home/users/YourUsername/PathToYour/.user.ini` with the actual path to your `php.ini` file. The exact path depends on where you choose to store this file.

Specify the PHP version

Alternatively, you can also specify a particular PHP version in your PHP configuration by entering the full path to the desired PHP version. The version specified should correspond to the one configured in `php.ini`.

To do this, follow the instructions in the following help article: How do I specify different PHP versions via SSH?
